Foam Magazine
A magazine containing the perfect mix of fashion, action, ocean, art, and music. Its a great entertainer for those of us girls who like to get out there in lineup next to the guys, then head home and blast our old records while picking out our favorite outfit.
They feature female riders from all walks of life, and never cease to present them with fashionable grace and ease. Making the natural beauty of these ladies glow with their great selection of photography.
The past few issues have featured nike 6.0 athletes Monyca Bryne-Wickey and Malia Manuel. Shot by our very own, Kari Rowe.

My Week in Utah with Nikita Outerwear Team.
I’ll give ya the quick and dirty, this was one of my more favorite freelance photo shoots to date, It may have been due to the surprising openness of everyone involved to G.S.D. no matter what! All the girls were awesome and open to suggestion and copped zero attitude, I know some male riders that are more high maintenance to deal with compared to any of these girls. Ha. Nikita has a solid group of riders, killing it from the pow, park, pipe, streets and their focused. Special props go to Nikita office crew that absolutely killed everything from buying large amounts of avocados and string cheese daily to keep the small army shredding to putting a roof over our heads. I like to think I came out of this trip with everything I set to accomplish and like 20+ new friends I can’t wait to run into in the near future. Well enough rambling… go to Yobeat to get the full scoop as told by Brooke Geery! Make sure to check All the pics and DAILY video coverage! Click here.
Thanks Nikita!
Von Iva by Plain T
I just came home from the Von Iva show at Doug Fir, and this sunday night show was fire! Those three girls put on an amazingly energetic show and the crowd was no let down! Keyboardist Rebecca Kupersmith was really stoked on the poster i did for the show (props for Nemo!) and once that trio got on stage is was loud, fast and personal. Kelly was throwing her drums and Jillian was unbuttoning my flannel and flashing the fans! The Portland crowd roared and the girls came out for one more song after they finished their set, the show was ferocious.
Baker Banked Slalom w/ Jake Stangel
Portland photog, Jake Stangel took a trip up to the 24th annual Mt.

Solid portraits and and words from the riders really give you an “insiders” feel to what the Banked is all about. Target and Playstation be damned, this is real snowboarding! Check it out here.

This is what roughly 2 million people look like during 44Th president Obama’s inauguration just one week ago, taken by the GeoEye Satellite. WOWZA! Almost 3 times the population of AK was in attendance. (I grew up in AK, I had to calculate some frame of reference, heh.) Mind. Blowing. Check out more images from around the world here

I Went to a Rodeo.
I’ve hijacked Merzy’s account to take Studio Nemo up on their kind offer of letting you know I went to a rodeo. With a small arsenal of gear and my requisite Coors Light, I spent 3 days with the hosses and hossettes of the Pendleton Roundup. What I found was a fantastic blend of spurs, cheddar fries, complementary whiskey and flags on everything. Collected here.

StudioNemo visits the Innovative+Functional Furniture Show 2008 at PSU
Inovative+Functional Furniture Show 2008 from alex mertz on Vimeo.
A few of us here at StudioNemo took a trip this evening to PSU campus in Portland,OR to check out the Innovative+Functional Funiture Show 2008. Our good friend Dave Seoane was on hand exhibiting his work (killer table Dave.) among 40 other artists. AND HE WON 1ST PLACE!!! There were some very beautiful pieces, some odd, some just weird, but held their own, in their funky little ways. Be sure to check out the show all month long at the Shattuck Bldg. (3rd floor) on the PSU campus. Thanks to all the artists involved! Great work!
Carlin Sundell travels back in time, Brings back photos as proof!
Well not exactly, had to give the National Enquirer headline a shot. Carlin Sundell works as a freelance photographer here at StudioNemo and is a good friend of ours. He recently attended a workshop on wet collodion plate photography. Wet collodion plate photography was developed by Frederik Archer in the mid 19th century. The image is exposed on to a glass or tin plate covered in collodion, a viscous liquid, made by dissolving nitrated cotton in a mixture of alcohol and ether and then light sensitive salts are applied to the plate, exposed, to create the photo. You literally need a entire chemistry kit in the field and work quickly in an ether rich environment to develop the plate. At some point a gas lantern is involved in the process… Chances for “KA-BLEWY” go way up! I suppose that’s half the fun, eh? Well fortunately Carlin returned not looking like THIS, and brought us back some amazing photos. Gives you an appreciation photography’s early years in today’s mind-numbing point and shoot world.
